The cactus grows on an island arising from a lake, a reference to Mexico City. The scene is supported by a oak leaves (symbol of strength and endurance) on the left and laurel leaves (symbol of victory and succes) on the right. The branches are tied together by a ribbon in the colours of the Mexican flag.
